Root Over Rock Larch

I've been working on this for around 18 years.

Time well spent. Beautiful composition.

What is the flowering plant on the slab?

A weed. Turns out it's creeping thyme. There is sedum and wild blueberry as well.

Thank you. You do seem to have the Cadillac of tastes.

If you remember, this was one of the break room trees at the last National.

Hmm, that could explain why it seems vaguely familiar...though I have to admit, I don't think I spent enough time in the break room to really notice the trees that were in there. Plus with the heat-induced coma on Saturday, it's all a blur!

The planting kind of reminds me of places I've visited along the California coast, where there are rock outcroppings that are carpeted in various types of succulents. When they bloom it's stunningly beautiful. Of course, you don't find too many larch out there, cypress for the most part...

Cool. Because that's the image I was looking to portray. Thanks Chris.

Beautiful, very well-done.

Was the tree originally collected? How was it acquired?

A young collected tree that I first placed on a flat rock and tied the roots down to cascade down and placed in the ground for about 5 years. Next i secured it to the rock it is on now and over the years twiddled and tweaked it.
